East German immigrant sees U.S. pursuing socialism

It sure was great to hear Harald Zieger speak at our Western Thumb Tea Party meeting Aug. 19 at the Vassar library. He is an immigrant from East Germany and now resides in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Mr. Zieger spoke on how his life was under socialism. He and his wife are shocked at what they now see going on in America; we are headed toward socialism.

He explained how under socialism, the government told them what to do — where to live, what school or college to attend, where to work and how many children they could have. He sees our government is starting to take away our rights before our eyes.

Mr. Zieger knows our Constitution better than most of us. He believes our forefathers made it to rule over our nation and keep us free. He also agrees with our forefathers who said our nation can only be ruled effectively by godly rulers.

As he shared this with us, my heart cried out to God to once again give us leaders who are full of integrity and honesty. What we see in Washington, D.C., is not what most of us wanted.

Where is the accountability to the people? It’s time for we, the people, to listen to Fox News and get informed of the truth. Our leaders work for us, not the other way around. When we know the truth, we can vote wisely and really make a difference.
